In the evening, the courtyard of the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall in the west of the city was very lively. Division Commander Liu Zhi welcomed the arrival of military adviser Bribenov and celebrated the success of the model camp in holding an influential military-civilian party and successfully recruiting more than 400 new recruits.
A grand dinner was held, and the chief officers of each regiment and the three chief officers of the model camp, eight squires from Tonggu City, and fifty Huangpu fifth-term trainee officers newly assigned to the second division were all invited to attend.
An Yi was very happy to see the familiar fifth-term trainee officer. After greeting most of his fellow students who were older than him, An Yi grabbed the engineers and corps communications scientists Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing to sit at the same table with him, and said goodbye to their beards.
Introduce the two people.
Yin Jinan came back after saying hello to the trainees and asked about the situation of Li Hong and others from 23-year-old Zhan Huanqi, who was originally from Foshan, Guangdong, and Peng Jianqing, who was just over 20 and originally from Huangshi, Hubei.
Zhan Huanqi, who is of medium height and has a thin face, replied that Li Hong and others were too good and were selected by the central teaching team being established as soon as they arrived in Changsha and could not come. She also asked us to apologize to the two seniors and say hello.
Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing were envious of the model camp. They lowered their heads to discuss for a moment, and mustered up the courage to request to enter the model camp for internship. An Yi laughed and said immediately that you two just don’t want to enter the model camp. The division headquarters has just agreed to our police training.
The platoon has been expanded into a guard company and a communications company. As long as you are willing, you can serve as platoon leader in the communications company. How about officially transferring to the lieutenant company level when you graduate? Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing were overjoyed and stood up to express their gratitude to An Yi and
Yin Jinan expressed his sincere thanks, making the trainees at the surrounding tables extremely envious.
Halfway through dinner, An Yi, who had just had three glasses of wine with Bribenov, came back and sat down. He saw that Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing only had one armed belt around their waists, and the other trainees were also without guns. After thinking about it, he left again.
Liu Zhi came to the main table and begged in a low voice.
Liu Zhi, who was in a good mood, agreed immediately and immediately called Kuang Shimin, the director of munitions, and told him to send two more shell guns to the model camp later, along with 600 old and new long rifles. Kuang Shimin replied, 600
A long gun and 30,000 rounds of rifle ammunition have been loaded into the truck and will be put into operation as soon as the dinner is over.
After achieving his goal, An Yi ignored the unfriendly looks of several regimental commanders who were jealous of his robbery of soldiers. He dragged Lao Kuang, who was smiling all over his face, to his table. After a while of coaxing and tricking, Lao Kuang, who was not good at drinking, was drunk until he was confused.
, almost counting the two shell guns as two boxes of shell guns, the old Kuang Lian came to his senses and said that An Yi was cunning, but he still happily asked the young men around him to lead two good horses and tie them to the little black colt outside the courtyard.
As soon as Lao Kuang left, his young quartermaster sent two brand-new rifles and full lanyards to An Yi. He also reported in a low voice that the two horses had been handed over to An Yi's guards outside the hospital. He was overjoyed to see them.
An Yi, who was laughing, grabbed the wine bottle and left quickly in shock.
The satisfied An Yi thanked the young quartermaster loudly, and immediately handed the guns to Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing. The trainees at the tables around him were stunned and envious, and secretly determined that they would definitely ask to be assigned to the model camp for internship tomorrow, but how did they know that
The next day, it was divided up by several main regiments and quickly put into the battlefield.
As night fell, the banquet ended, and the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall immediately returned to a heavily guarded military center after seeing off the guests. A group of regiment and battalion commanders sat attentively around a long Eight Immortals table in the hall of the ancestral hall, listening to division commander Liu Zhi and chief of staff Xu Tingyao explain what was about to happen.
The initial combat plan: use a surprise attack and a three-sided rapid attack to encircle the 2,500 defenders in Shangfu Town in one fell swoop... The first company of the model battalion and the police platoon served as the guide and vanguard of the surprise attack, and also assisted the fourth regiment and one battalion.
, the 2nd Battalion and the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment advanced covertly through the southern path, hiding day and night to strictly guard their whereabouts. They must occupy Luo City, nine kilometers east of Shangfu, and the main forces in other directions before 5 a.m. on the 16th.
At the same time, the troops launched a fierce attack on Shangfu Town.
At nine o'clock in the evening, An Yi and his party, who were ordered to return to the Shuaijiaba camp, had just arrived at the camp gate without dismounting. Wu Liheng, the duty officer, immediately stepped forward to report:
"Two local young people asked to see the battalion commander and deputy battalion at sunset. They heard that several bosses had gone to Xiao's ancestral hall for a banquet. They had been waiting on the rock outside. Their subordinates invited them to sit in the camp.
They don't want to wait slowly for a meal, and each one is more arrogant than the other. It seems that they are looking for trouble."
An Yi and others looked up and saw Gu Laoer and his young men standing quietly 30 meters away from the left side of the camp gate. An Yi looked at Huzi in surprise and ordered Yin Jinan to lead Zhan Huanqi and others back to set up a banquet
, they both dismounted and walked towards Gu Laoer, who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm sorry, you two. I didn't know that you two were here. My brothers came back late. Please forgive me! I guess you two didn't have dinner, and we didn't eat enough at the banquet. Let's go to the camp and have a drink together.
Let’s talk about something while eating." An Yi said kindly.
Gu Laoer nodded expressionlessly and followed An Yi and Hu Hu into the barracks without saying anything.
Several officers and soldiers had already set up a simple long table made of wooden boards four meters long and two meters wide under the tree outside the big tent. Several fire-headed soldiers served fragrant braised cold dishes and a steaming hot pot.
Twenty kilograms of local rice wine was also opened and poured into large bowls.
The three chief officers of the model camp politely invited Gu Lao Er and two people to sit down. Police platoon leader Xia Jian and the three company commanders sat down happily at An Yi's greeting. An Yi stopped Zhan Huanqi and Peng Jianqing who turned to leave: "Just now
You two didn't have enough to eat at the banquet, so sit down and eat together."
Beard picked up the wine bowl and raised it to his chest: "What do you call the two of you?"
Gu Laoer saw the bearded man and did not dare to neglect the etiquette of the world. He picked up a full bowl of wine and replied politely: "I'm rude, I didn't pass the registration number to pay back Haihan. My surname is Gu and my name is Changfeng. The brothers on the road will give me a '
The bandit name of "Hutou in Northern Jiangxi" is not worth mentioning. This is my brother Dou Fang, who like my younger brother is a Hakka who has lived in Tonggu for a long time."
"Please!" Huzi nodded.
"please!"
After Gu Laoer finished speaking, he drank a full kilogram of soju in the big wrist in one gulp, and showed his beard at the bottom of the bowl at the same time, winning everyone's cheers.
An Yi signaled to everyone to feel free to use some of the food. After saying that, he happily picked up a piece of braised pork sausage and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and shouted loudly: "You are so damn authentic, old Hantou, you are so good at your craftsmanship."
! When the world becomes peaceful one day, I will pay for you to open the largest Sichuan restaurant in Nanjing. Haha... Come! Let's have a bowl... Why are you being polite to me? Just for tonight's sake
Dish, you old Han should be rewarded with a promotion rank. When Nanchang is captured, I will definitely get you a warrant officer, haha, done!"
Old Hantou on the side took the wine bowl handed by Dong Yazi and drained it. He wiped his mouth and said to An Yi happily: "Boss, I don't want to open a restaurant in Nanjing. I will go back after the war."
Go to my hometown, Neijiang, and use the money given by my boss to open the best restaurant on the Tuojiang River. It will be free for all the brothers and their families in our model camp, haha... Everyone eats slowly, and you are welcome to the two distinguished guests. Have two more drinks.
, Haha, there are still a few side dishes that I need to check out."
Gu Laoer looked at everything in front of him in surprise. He couldn't believe that An Yi, who was so gentle and heroic in the ring, would get along with his subordinates like this. Looking at the table full of officers eating and talking without scruples,
Gu Laoer suddenly felt that this revolutionary army model camp was the same as his bandit village. Since his debut, he has always hated his title of "bandit", and he has always shown his good manners when getting along with heroes from all over the world.
, but what he saw and heard tonight really surprised him. He really wanted to ask An Yi: From which mountain did the brothers in the model camp recruit An Yi?
After drinking for a few rounds and with his stomach half full, Gu Laoer saw more than a hundred brothers in the camp all dressed up. A group of officers and soldiers came out with more than twenty machine guns and lined up. Several officers were distributing bullets and ammunition to their brothers.
Grenades, the sentries at the gate of the camp were also changed, and behind Beard stood a young soldier covered in long and short guns. Beard's sword was held in the young man's hand, and he seemed to be planning to leave the camp.
Now Gu Laoer couldn't wait any longer and put down his wine bowl and frankly stated his purpose: "To be honest, I'm here tonight to learn Brother Hu's clever tricks. I hope Brother Hu can teach me."
The bearded man raised his eyebrows slightly and stood up openly: "I wonder what Brother Gu has to say?"
"Let's compare swords. As soon as I showed up, I was called out by Brother Hu. I was filled with admiration. I could only show my unimproved sword skills and ask Brother Hu for advice." Gu Laoer stood up and clasped his fists respectfully in salute.
"good!"
Huzi threw the seven-star knife handed to him by his adjutant Zeng Changhe to Gu Laoer, and asked Guodong Yazi to take An Yi's imitation seven-star knife from his back. He said "please" and walked to the door five meters away.
Standing in the open space holding a knife.
When hundreds of brothers saw that Boss Hu, whom they were in awe of, was about to take action, they all rushed up to watch excitedly. At the instructions of several company commanders, they formed a large circle of ten meters square. Seven or eight brothers used long bamboo poles to pick up seven or eight lamps.
The horse lantern illuminates the inside and outside of the circle.
Gu Laoer pulled out the sword, and a wisp of cold light disappeared in a flash. Gu Laoer was shocked and shouted "good sword". He looked at it carefully for a moment and praised it. He walked about three meters in front of Huzi and smiled gratefully.
Beard nodded and pulled out the identical seven-star sword in his hand but with a completely black blade. He dropped the scabbard and lifted the sword diagonally. The tip of the sword was kicked to knee height and never moved an inch.
When Gu Laoer saw the beard's movement and was ready to go, he took two steps back and slowly raised the seven-star sword with his left hand. He moved his right foot forward half a step and put it on the ground to look at each other. The two opponents were exuding
The strong fighting spirit he exuded actually made the onlookers’ hearts beat faster, and they seemed to be out of breath.
I saw Gu Laoer let out a dull grunt on his shoulder, and his whole body seemed to be sliding quickly against the ground towards the indifferent beard. The beard also suddenly started to move at the same moment. The two passed by each other quickly, and the two long knives collided together, making a loud sound.
The clear crashing sound and the sound of breaking through the air scared the onlookers and all the brothers took two big steps back. After a closer look, the two masters in the circle did not seem to have moved except changing positions, and still maintained their original postures.
Huzi was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Gu Laoer to activate it so quickly. The long knife he swung was unstable and dangerous. The seemingly ordinary swipe showed a very solid and powerful skill. The long knife cut through the clouds and flowing water.
There is no delay, and the good demeanor of a successful disciple of a famous person is faintly revealed.
Beard immediately gathered his energy and held the long knife straight across his chest. His cold eyes shone like cold stars and silently stared at his opponent. He saw that the spines of the brothers around him were chilling, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Gu Laoer felt even more uncomfortable. The moment he quickly approached, Huzi's extraordinary reaction and smart blocking force were powerful. In the blink of an eye, the two people's knife edges came into contact five times. Huzi's last knife almost hit Gu Laoer first.
His pace was hindered and he was at a disadvantage. Gu Laoer could only move half a step sideways and dodge, thus preventing the attack from being broken up.
The two of them started again, and the dazzling cold sword light came towards their faces. There was a sonorous impact sound accompanied by strings of sparks. The sharp impact sound of the long sword made the ears of hundreds of brothers buzz. They were once again forced by the fierce momentum.
Before the brothers who had to retreat could stand still, the two people in the field had separated and suddenly rushed towards each other. Before the two "whooshing" sounds broke through the air, the two warring parties had separated again, standing five meters apart, like javelins.
Almost straight.
"Dang Cang——"
Gu Laoer threw away the long knife in his hand, looked up to the sky and sighed, two tears rolled out from the corners of his slender eyes, across his pale face and fell to the ground. The half-inch collar on his tight-fitting short coat fell off, and with a few strands
The cotton thread hung on his chest, fluttering in the bleak night wind.
Huzi waved the long knife in his hand and inserted it half a foot into the ground. He walked step by step to Gu Laoer and picked up his seven-star sword. He stood up and looked at the extremely sad young master quietly:
"Brother, you have entered the threshold of the upper realm. It is rare to have such skill at such an age. It was only after several years of wandering and poverty that I spied on this by chance the year before last.
Threshold. Given time, I really can't get any benefits within twenty meetings. Maybe you will be successful after this battle... I'm sorry, I have military duties tonight and can't drink wine with my brothers. Everything
Just let it happen."
Gu Laoer slowly lowered his head and saw that the bearded man with the sword on his back had walked up to the gathering of more than a hundred officers and soldiers. He issued a series of orders in a low voice and then led these well-equipped brothers to trot out of the camp without saying a word.
, quickly disappeared into the darkness to the right of the camp gate. All the hundreds of brothers watching had left. The entire camp was silent, with only a single lantern hanging above the banquet.
Gu Laoer sighed again and smiled bitterly at An Yi, who had been standing quietly beside him: "Brother An, I learned a lesson today! Thank you Brother An for your hospitality. I will definitely repay you when we meet one day."
"slow!"
An Yi stopped Gu Lao'er who turned to leave: "Brother Gu has such skills which are very rare, and his conversational skills are extraordinary, and his temperament is superhuman. According to Huzi, there is no real person from a famous family. It would be a pity to be buried in the wilderness! You and I both
When you are living in troubled times, you should always remember the words of heroes in troubled times, right? I don’t know what to say to you at this time, but I respect any choice you make... I originally wanted to have two more drinks with you, but I am unable to do so due to busy military affairs.
.Although you and I meet by chance, we can see that we are destined to meet each other. This knife is a little bit of my heart. Take it. It is made of the best American truck spring steel by a Changsha master craftsman. It is made through special quenching, condensation, etc.
It is carefully made using the secret process and is more than ten times sharper than an ordinary broadsword. The fine leather scabbard is also made by a famous hand. Although it is not as good as the seven-star sword you just took from Hu Hui, the style, length and weight are the same.
However, a row of small holes were cut. I just need to find a knife sharpener to take care of them. Just think about it. Just like what Huzi said just now, you can’t force anything to happen. If I can live to the day when I am disarmed and return to the field, I will say
Maybe I can have a drink with you, haha!"
The sad Gu Laoer took the long knife with both hands, nodded gratefully to An Yi, handed the knife to the bitter-faced Xiaodouzi beside him, took a step back, solemnly saluted An Yi with fists, then turned around and left the camp gate.
It was so far away that I seemed to hear An Yi's long sigh.
